7 Tiling Mistakes That Cause Callbacks (And How We Prevent Them)

1. Skipping flatness checks, large formats expose substrate waves.
2. Closing in before flood tests, wet areas need discipline.
3. Wrong adhesive class, interiors versus exteriors versus immersed zones.
4. No movement joints, especially on solar-facing façades.
5. Mismatched billing expectations, pattern matches and niche cuts consume time.
